Monitoring Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer Using Ultrafast DCE-MRI

Recruiting
Conditions
Breast Cancer
Registration Number
NCT05744518
Lead Sponsor
Fudan University
Brief Summary

The study will assess whether changes in kinetic parameters of tumor and peritumoral vasculature using ultrafast dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) are predictive of pathologic complete response (pCR) in patients with breast cancer appropriate for NAC. pCR is defined as having no residual invasive breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Complete Pathologic Response (pCR)6 Months Post Surgery

The primary aim of this feasibility study is to determine whether ultrafast dynamic contrasted-enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) at baseline prior to first cycle neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), after first cycle NAC, and prior to second cycle NAC can accurately predict complete pathologic response (pCR) in women with breast cancer.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Image Quality6 Months Post Surgery

The second aim of this feasibility study is to determine whether ultrafast dynamic contrasted-enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) can provide the relatively high resolution, high contrast-noise ration, and good contrast with ultrafast DCE-MRI
